DETROIT, Dec. 14, 2010 -- Johnny O'Connell will move from Corvette
Racing to the new Team Cadillac motorsports program in the Sports Car
Club of America (SCCA) World Challenge GT in 2011. After 10 successful
seasons in Corvettes, O'Connell will join former Corvette Racing
teammate Andy Pilgrim in a pair of Cadillac CTS-V Coupes as Cadillac
returns to racing in the SCCA production-based series.

"Johnny O'Connell has made a tremendous contribution to the success of
Corvette Racing both on and off the track," said GM Racing director Mark
Kent. "Now as GM launches a new motorsports program with another iconic
brand, Johnny was the unanimous choice for Team Cadillac. We are very
pleased that Johnny will continue to be a valued member of the GM Racing
family, and we believe that his proven speed, racecraft, and outgoing
personality will be great assets for the Cadillac racing program."

O'Connell, 48, of Flowery Branch, Ga., joined Corvette Racing in 2001.
He won 40 races with the team and captured three American Le Mans Series
GTS/GT1 championships with co-drivers Ron Fellows (2003-04) and Jan
Magnussen (2008). In 2009, O'Connell notched his record-setting eighth
career win in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and became the first
American to score four class victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

"After 10 amazing years with Corvette Racing as part of one of the best
American sports car teams in history, I am extremely flattered that
Cadillac selected me for this very important program," said O'Connell.
"I'm very proud to have won more ALMS races in Corvettes than any other
driver and to set records at Sebring and Le Mans. I've enjoyed fantastic
relationships with the team, with great friends and co-drivers like Ron
Fellows and Jan Magnussen, and with Corvette enthusiasts around the
world. I look forward to building a similar fan base with Team Cadillac
and representing Cadillac for many years to come."

Corvette Racing will announce its 2011 program plans and driver lineup
at a later date. Corvette Racing's next event is the Mobil 1 Twelve
Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway on March 19, 2011, the
season-opening round of the 2011 American Le Mans Series.
